BASEBALL PING LIST

If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.

This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

Got it on radio right now.

Tremendous round of applause for a guy that couldn’t deserve it any more!

Congrats to Derek, but if Larrupin' Lou had not been struck down early, IMHO, he would probably have gone down as the greatest baseball player ever.

He grew up in Michigan -- he was born in NJ.

I hope he doesn’t turn up on the list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003.

Sorry to see Lou’s record broken but if it had to be a current Yankee, Jeter is one of the better guys all around.

I like what Vaccaro said in the times: The House that Jeter Built.

Godspeed, Mr. Jeter, and thanks for your work ethic and humility.

"If I ever see Jeter's name attached to the hip of performance enhancers, I'm done. I mean it -- I'll never watch another big league game again. Because if Captain Pinstripes could do the Vitamin S deed, then anybody can."

"Jeter's name is where I draw the line in the PED sand. He is the absolute last guy I'd ever suspect of juicing. It seems so, well, beneath him. He is the one player who I actually think would walk away from the game if he thought he had to cheat to compete."

"To me, Jeter is the anti-Barry Bonds, the anti-Roger Clemens and the anti-Alex Rodriguez. He understands that if you compromise the game, you compromise yourself."

--Gene Wojciechowski

I'm not a Yankees fan. I'm a Cardinals fan. But if you asked me to list five guys in all of baseball I totally believed were clean Jeter would be one of them.

he’ll never pass Micky Mantle and Thurmun Munsons or Mattingly in the hearts of long time true Yankee fans....

Actually, I think Jeter is one of the best baseball players currently playing the game.

He is a class act, and I hope his name doesn't come up on that list.

But I doubt if I'm the only one who has thought about it.

No disrespect intended to Jeter, but the questions about who has used steroids in the past won't go away any time soon.
